Selling a business turns hard-to-reach equity into cash, securities, and a seller's note, and that changes what your estate plan needs to do. This post walks Nebraska owners through six areas to review after closing: the county inheritance tax, where the proceeds live if you are married, lifetime gifts and Nebraska's three-year rule, titling and beneficiary designations, powers of attorney, and who manages the money if you cannot. It includes a checklist of what to gather and questions to ask your lawyer.
